mitosRNAseq Workflow

Summary

This workflow demonstrates the mitosRNAseq pipeline which identifies several types of small RNA from sequencing data from short reads of <50 nt. The following method collects sequence-based counts, sequence locations, genomic features, and annotations. The data we use is from killifish embyros anoxia experiments.

The step-by-step workflow we follow is illistrated below and a detailed method to perform small RNA seq on an academic HPC is decsribed in this document.

The following table shows the contents of the file samples.csv that contains metadata for our samples. We start with a total of 40 fastq files.

QC for raw reads

Quality Control (QC) is done by running fastQC on raw reads to evaluate how good (or bad) our data looks.

Install software for Quality Check

conda

Set up a virtual environment in conda that has all of the Quality Control (QC) tools. We are using Miniconda. For creating sharable environments, create .yaml files for each environment you’re making.

conda create -n condafastqc fastqc
conda activate condafastqc
conda install -n multiqc

tmux

For almost every long-ish process, we use tmux to run tasks in a detached terminal window that can keep running if we want to log out or if we accidently log out.

tmux new -s fastqc

Executing

Creating a new file called fastqcr.R that has the script to run fastqc through R. We use this script to automate the process for a list of files in a directory. Running commands through various scripts also keeps a record of our commands.

if (!require("fastqcr")) {
        install.packages("fastqcr", repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org")
        library(fastqcr)
} else {library(fastqcr)}
fastqc(fq.dir="/path/to/directory/init_fastq_files",
      qc.dir="/path/to/directory/fastqc/init_fastqc",
      threads=20)

Running the script with the following command:

Rscript fastqcr.R

Press Ctrl+B and then D for detaching this tmux window. You can log out from your remote computer (HPC) and close your terminal window now while this process keeps running on your remote computer. To get back to this window, log in to your remote computer, and use the command tmux a -t fastqc. F or more information, check tmux.

We will get a fastqc HTML file in the output fastqc directory for each fastq sequence in the input init_fastq_files directory.

QC for trimmed reads

Quality Control (QC) is done for the trimmed reads with fastQC. We activate the conda environment condafastqc for this process.

if (!require("fastqcr")) {
        install.packages("fastqcr", repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org")
        library(fastqcr)
} else {library(fastqcr)}
fastqc(fq.dir="/path/to/directory/trimmed_fastq_files",
      qc.dir="/path/to/directory/fastqc/trim_fastqc",
      threads=20)

Running the script with the following command:

Rscript fastqcr.R

FastQC Output

Plots for each FASTQC metric after trimming is shown below. All the adapters were removed and overall quality looks better.

Alignment

The trimmed reads are aligned to the reference genome using bowtie. To analyze reads mapping with mitochondrial genome, we perform the alignment in two steps.

1. Complete Genome (with mitochondrial genome)- with algenome.fa
2. Only the Mitochondrial genome which is extracted from genome.fa- almitogenome.fa

To begin alignment, we make bowtie indexes, this is done in two sets.

bowtie-index algenome.fa
bowtie-index almitogenome.fa

Alignment with genome

The alignment was done on the trimmed reads from previous section.

Using aligned reads

Coming Soon

miRTrace

Running mirtrace with the following command.

#!/bin/bash
mirtrace qc --species dre --config seq_address.txt

Looking at the results:

sports

Executing sports tool on mapped reads only. We use the following command to run:

#!/bin/bash
sports.pl -i seqs_alim_mito.txt \
-o /disk/bioscratch/Podrab_lab/gazal/sRNA_gazal/align_with_alimnaeus/gen_input_fastq/SPORTS/out_sports/REDO/mito_mapped_reads \

This will generate a number of output files, from which the tables generated as a result file *_output.txt for each sample are taken and are used to extract annotation of mapped reads. Top 50 rows of this table are shown for the sample 10_12d_4hrA below.

It also generates a number of plots to categorize the annotations and their length distributions for each sample.

Compiling output files

Visualizing

We use the alignments with mitochondrial genome to view the aligned reads.

Jbrowse is used to explore alignments.

Files used:

1. Aligned bam files for each sample and its corresponding index file (bam, bai)
2. Reference genome for mitochondria (.fasta) and its index file (.fai)
3. Genome feature file (.gff) for mitochondrial genome

This figure shows mitochondiral genome of 100bp length from 17100 to 17199. On this genome, we see 1) the colored basepairs, 2) Genomic features of the mentioned length, 3) Alignments from 4 samples (4d t0 replicates) that show reads aligned to the genome colored by strand while also showing the coverage histogram in grey.
